hyperbChangePars {HyperbolicDist}

Change Parameterizations of the Hyperbolic Distribution

Description

This function interchanges between the following 4 parameterizations of the hyperbolic distribution:

1. \pi, \zeta, \delta, \mu

2. \alpha, \beta, \delta, \mu

3. \phi, \gamma, \delta, \mu

4. \xi, \chi, \delta, \mu

The first three are given in Barndorff-Nielsen and Blæsild (1983), and the fourth in Prause (1999)

Usage

hyperbChangePars(from, to, Theta, noNames = FALSE)

Arguments

from

The set of parameters to change from.

to

The set of parameters to change to.

Theta

"from" parameter vector consisting of 4 numerical elements.

noNames

Logical. When TRUE, suppresses the parameter names in the output.

Details

In the 4 parameterizations, the following must be positive:

1. \zeta,\delta

2. \alpha,\delta

3. \phi,\gamma,\delta

4. \xi,\delta

Furthermore, note that in the second parameterization \alpha must be greater than the absolute value of \beta, while in the fourth parameterization, \xi must be less than one, and the absolute value of \chi must be less than \xi.

Value

A numerical vector of length 4 representing Theta in the to parameterization.

Examples

Theta1 <- c(-2,1,3,0)                      # Parameterization 1
Theta2 <- hyperbChangePars(1, 2, Theta1)   # Convert to parameterization 2
Theta2                                     # Parameterization 2
hyperbChangePars(2, 1, as.numeric(Theta2)) # Convert back to parameterization 1
